placed there to the credit of the
Hawaiian Government, to be drawn
for no other purpose. This was
done. Other money was placed at
the disposal of the government with
the express understanding that it
was not to be used for any other
purpose than those specified in the
Act Mr.. Macfarlane got 1900
pounds as commission from the
syndicate.
When Mr.. Macfarlane reached
London he at once questioned the
charge of $4,000 pounds, and was
told that it was charge allowed by
the Bill as Interpreted in England.
AS to the Interpretation, Mr.. Wildly
said that as rule all securities
foated in London are first submitted
to the solicitor for the Bank of
England, as nearly all securities are
deposited to some extent as security
for money drawn from that institu-
ton.
Such in brief is the story as il
was told. If any mistakes have
been made the BULLETIN stands
ready 10 correct them.

NEW SOUTH WALES NEWS.

The tendency of opinion here is
to drop substituting mail steamers
altogether, and if New South Wales
will not renew her share of the sub
sidy, New Zealand will also refuse
to continue subsidy to the route
via Honolulu. The route to British
Columbia, via Honolulu or direct,
is considered here to be still SO far
in the future that little or no in
terest is excited in it.
The last steamer from FIJI brought
$4,000 worth of bananas, which
fetched an average price of ID cents
a bunch. They are much poorer
than the Honolulu bananas.
The prevalence of leprosy on the
Islands has caused some cores
pondence in the newspapers and
questions have been asked in Paria-
ment but not answered as yet.
Sir Henry Parkes, the Premier,
who is now over seventy years of
age, assigned his estate lately and
owing to the threatened conduct of
the Opposition resigned his seat in
the House, but was returned again
without Opposition. A subscription
has been set on foot to provide him
with a comfortable maintenance for
the rest of his days, and already
over f20, have been subscribed,
in recognition of his political services
to the Colonies.
Protection is slowly growing in
favor here and a new daily news
paper is to be started to advocate it.

SATURDAY, NOV. 10, 1887.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD
OF HEALTH.

The Legislature considered the
matter of the salary of the President
of the Board of Health this morning.
AS we said before the only question
is whether the duties pointed out in
the discussion should be performed
by the President or by another.
There can be no doubt that there is
a great deal of work which ought to
be done under the direction of the
Board of Health. In order to in
sure the performance of this work,
it must be paid for. The health of
the people is one of the most i'm
portant questions which engage the
attention of the Government. Lep-
rosy must be stamped out. We do
not share the respondent views of
some of the members who spoke.
Leprosy has not been cured to any
great extent here or elsewhere. But
that does not prove that it will
always battle medical skill. Very
earnest efforts in this direction
should be made by the Govern
ment. The people demand it
and are willing, nay, anxious
to pay the expense. Humanitarian
and strict business principles are at
one in this matter. Besides, if it
does prove that medical skill can &C
complish little in the way of curing
the dread disease, the fact remains
that great deal can be done in the
way of preventing its spread. This
is proved by actual experience in
other countries. The future pros
perity of this country is largely de-
pendent upon the health of the peo-
pie. The simple question as to the
name of the officer who has this mat
ter in charge is of little Importance
compared with the vast Importance
of the work to be done. In addition
to this the care of those unfortunate
fellow-men who are afflicted with the
disease appeals to all the higher SEN
timents of human nature. BY all
means let us have this work better
done in the future than it has been
in the past.

STORY OF THE BONDS.

The committee of the Legislature
to whom was. referred the bill to
authorize the Minister of Finance to
issue the now famous English Bonds,
held an open meeting at the legisla-
tive hall Thursday night. Mr.. G. w.
Macfarlane was examined upon his
oath regarding the whole loan trans
action and especially regarding his
connection with it. And Mr.. A. G..
Wildly informally gave a great deal
of general information regarding the
working and methods of the London
Stock Exchange, of which he has
been a member for eighteen years.
He also knew something of the Ha-
waiian Loan, having been an origin
al subscriber, and having dealt in
the stocks at later date. Following
is about the story according to these
two gentleman:
In 1886 Mr.. Armstrong came here
on his own account, probably at the
suggestion of Mr.. Hoffnung, to in
vestigate "the borrowing capacity"
of this country, with a view to get
ting loan bill passed allowing
loan foated in the London market.
In case of success he hoped to get
up syndicate to float the loan, and,
according to the custom of the Stock
Exchange, he expected the syndi-
cate to pay him for all of his trouble
in working up the preliminaries.
Finding that he needed help in get
ting the bill through the Legislature
and in other matters, he took into
kind of informal partnership with
him Mr.. Geo. w. Macfarlane. After
a time Mr.. Armstrong became dis
gusted with Mr.. Gibson's business
methods and decided to abandon the
whole enterprise, and return by the
next steamer for San Francisco. But
Mr.. Macfarlane persuaded him to
wait in San Francisco for word by
the next steamer. BY the time for
the next steamer the original loan
bill was passed, and Mr.. Macfarlane
went with a copy OF it to San Fran
cisco, where he had a conference
with Mr.. Armstrong. He also met
Mr.. Spreckels and showed him the
Loan Act. Mr.. S. was apparently
friendly to the scheme as whole;
but he wanted the act amended. He
did not like the disposition that was
